‘Current King of Singers 2’ is stirring up excitement with a teaser for the ‘semifinals’ that contains unexpected results.
In the 10th episode of MBN’s ‘Current King of Singers’ airing on the 4th, the final hellish race leading to the finals, the ‘semifinals’, will be revealed. Out of 14 contestants, only 10 can advance to the finals, with a total of 1400 points at stake; we highlight the key points to watch in the ‘semifinals’.
From close friends to rivals… What is the ‘1-on-1 genre battle’ matchup?
The ‘semifinals’ consist of a 1st round ‘1-on-1 genre battle’ and a 2nd round ‘drama battle’, with the total of the ‘national support votes’ determining the top 9 contestants who will advance directly to the finals, while 5 will be placed as elimination candidates, indicating a more intense competition due to the brutal rules.
In the 1st round ‘1-on-1 genre battle’, the judging panel can only choose one of the two active contestants fighting in the same genre, making the matchups more crucial than ever. With a total of 400 points at stake in the 1st round ‘1-on-1 genre battle’ (220 points from the celebrity judging panel and 180 points from the national judging panel), the active contestants can only choose their genre without knowing their opponents, raising curiosity about their reactions once the opponents are revealed. Friends could suddenly become rivals, and the powerful psychological battles are expected to heat up the atmosphere.
Beyond the twists, the drama battle… 2nd round ‘drama battle’ has a total of 860 points at stake
The 2nd round ‘drama battle’ in the ‘semifinals’ has more than doubled the points from the 1st round, with a total of 860 points at stake. Before heading to the finals, the 2nd round ‘drama battle’ serves as a crucial opportunity for the 1st round winners to secure their spot in the finals. For the losers of the 1st round, it’s a golden chance to overturn the results of the 1st round in one go. As the active contestants showcase their individual talents in the ‘drama battle’, it remains to be seen whether a shocking drama myth will be born, drawing attention to the outcome of the 2nd round ‘drama battle’.
From the semifinals, national support votes will be reflected… Will there be unexpected results?
